Hi guys,
Got a problem with my shurflo pump thats in the van between tank and reel,  its not delivering water like it used to.
It coughs and splutters water out on a trickle even when the controller it turned right up and have tried it without the controller and still the same.
Any ideas???

sounds like an air lock to me.
make sure there is water going in the inlet and that
the pump is priming.
once its primed it should be ok.
could also be pressure switch but I have never changed one of those.

Panic over found the problem.

After thinking that i had insolated my system from freezing over the past few week just found a crack in the strainer body that was sucking air and sending the water pressure iregular.  so took strainer off and bobs ya uncle works fine, just gotta run it a few days without strainer untill new one is order.

Didnt flood van but i got very wet.   Ordered a new one £6 and repaired the other one cause its like a plastic/fibre glass material.  I just heated up a screw drive on the cooker and braised the crack, tried it this morning and its perfect for now. Oh and had another casulty too, one of my di canister shattered over the cold period luckly ive use 2.

To stop this happening again im gonna build a pump box over the weekend.

Hi Gary hows things? hope business is well?  Have a good xmas?
